I've experienced this problem about 3 times since 2015 came out.

It doesn't always happen, and I haven't figured out what's different when it happens... but here are the symptoms:


1) I have a track that has been cut and pasted all over the place and I want to CONSOLIDATE AUDIO REGION

2) I highlight the track (usually using CTRL-A) then EDIT > TRACK > CONSOLIDATE AUDIO REGION

3) if the track consolidates, no problem (usually the case)

4) but sometimes after doing that, the track is still not consolidated. When this happens, RB sometimes puts a consolidated copy of the track way out in the far reaches of the track.. a couple of thousand bars away

This uses up a lot of memory and usually locks me up.



Telltale symptoms:

1) At the end of the song, the measure markers at the top of the screen become very small... I suppose because it's trying to accommodate the data that's wayyyy out there.

2) At the end of the song, it doesn't stop playing because RB knows there's still unplayed data on the track. When using Jukebox, I need the songs to stop so the next song can start, so this problem really messes me up.

3) When I save the file it is about 5 times larger than usual.



Even if I have enough memory to scroll out 2,000 bars, find the audio and delete it... once RB thinks there's data there, I can't restore the bar markers at the end of the song to the normal width. Also, the song continues playing after the end of the song. This suggests to me there's even more data stored out there that I can't get to.

Since retiring, I've been using RB for extended periods every day... maybe if I shut it down after a certain period it wouldn't happen. But it does happen. If it has happened to me 3 times (maybe more) in a month, it's probably happening to others too.

Anybody else seeing this? Or have a fix for it once it happens?
